Ughh "JDM Spec".

I laughed, really - I actually did.

me too its just so boring at this point

lots of good car suggestions have been made.
and the ones that show up have always been a surprise.
really will any one say the UF1 or XFG misses the mark in any way?
or the FXO they are really true to counterparts of RL.
Real cars is just bonus material the LFS experience is so superbto any other sim online that it is inconsequential if the car is 'real' or not.
go Scirocco! and othe VAG stuffs would be rad )Polo cup anyone? VR6 BEetle cup? or any Lamborghini or Audi R8? or well i mentioned it before..wow

good show Scawen! sorry i was late to the party

this is excellent
but will it put the XFG out?
how does the Scirocco fit into the line up?
will this open the door to yet more VW's?
or Porsche?! or Audi?!

it is fantastic...
a variation with out the chicane after T1 and placing it under the bridge or something would be keen.
just a different variation.
no in all honesty FernBay is a masterpiece as well.

a smaller well known track would be the best place to start
Nordschleife is so big that many new racers would be turned off and the amount of accidents and moving chicanes would be the death of the experience=no fun
Spa would be terrific
silverstone with its gazillion layouts and the cars available are a good match
as is Brands Hatch.
LimeRock is nice if a bit simple-
Road Atlanta class act, Laguna seca? one layout is this what LFS needs right now (of course a reverse UP the corkscrew would be cool)

Sonoma-Sear point is a better fit currently at least 2 layouts, and reverse...
Suzuka (is KY GP similar?) would be great, as would be Barcelona or Valencia
Vallelunga is also a nice one...

thanks that worked great

not to be dense
but since the higher res (2048) skins were made available i have noe idea where to buy or add credits so i can make these available.
i have looked all over the site and here- did i miss the window or just searching for the wrong thing?

cool too bad i never found Mafia 1 here yet

Quote from Chris P :

I'm from Europe... where history comes from...
I know roughly what racing's about. So I voted for all except the ovals!

except that Ovals were at the dawn of racing in europe as well
Brooklands and a few other in the UK come to mind

the clutch is a bit quick to fry up
the formula BMW wow
it took me 10 laps to get it right
of course now i have to re learn to drive in the sim
funny thing is my PB are still in the system- no way can i do those times lifting to shift so often

wow a new car great!
this will slot in under the FOX or on par?
i know the BMW is smaller but may not be any slower.

this is exciting.-

my only problem with drifting is how it is taking up so many servers...I can only race in like 5-6 in North America
everyone want to drift or crash...thank goodness other sims exist so i can race
after all it is RACING i am looking for in a RACING SIM...

brilliant thread by the way
+1

Can I move LFS into my Backup/ alternate hard drive? just a cut and paste?

My primary harddrive is getting full :nerd:
and all the skins in LFS are making it cramped especiallyt next to Steam and N2K3 and R factor.
It is the smaller but more precious of the few
Can i simply move it or do I need to reactivate it?

true that
the paradox

i find meself in a pair of 'docs' though

i was or have one WIP
give it some time to look right... somebody can or is doing it better than me though i am sure.

how did they do that?
it even looks like big deformed XFgti's my lord is that funny.
the physics engine seems to be able to handle them ok

I am a Judoka as well
have been for years
easily the best art of them all
more sporting than Juijitsu (as its true war fare roots would attest.)
and less violent then any punching barbarism
Judo rules


HAJIME!

and Zero hosts only which i can join
and only 67 racers tonight??!??
8 of 437 hosts my PC recorded to me...

yeah found it and wow! treat stuff, and no hit to the FPS!

i have been searching all over LFS- where can I get the Keg's Smoke texture?

i suppose the obvious is that IRL you drive with a certain fear, to crash, die, do something else terrible.
in a sim who cares if you crash- unless you understand real racing, than you wouldn't. as said a post ago, you drive over the limit and bring it with in the limits i a SIM, not IRL.
Many people drive sims and have never driven in real life, so they do not bring track conduct and etiquette into the online world, as if the rules are different
lets face it 3 or 33 laps, the race still is most fun when everyone can finish intact, so why would you wreck and make foolish passes or attempts if you may sacrfice the race for you or others?
it is noobish and rude,
racing on STCC,(mostly better than silver license) the much faster guys occasionally get a little impatient, but most STCC racers do wait for an opportunity to pass, rather than force it.
CORE-racing is the same, just good racing. which means not wrecking int T1 and not trying to pass in a chicane (Fernbay anyone?), which wreckers and schmucks seem to think there is more than one line in.

any chance the template would make the doors more equal in length.?
it would be a terrific 4 door, the second door is good in the template but in the CMX it looks so small, as if it wasn't there in the car design (wait! it wasn't,) maybe the B-pillar should be moved forward- but how can that be done?

Quote from SLIDE WAYZ :

ok then, i want a horse.... or a donkey..... think thats a bit more out of the box

heck why not camels, and ostrich racing too
that's out of the box hey?
and wallabies for spectators, no more people or stewards.

amen to all this-
drift drift drift....this is racing not figure skating.
